A wedding in Spain is one of the most romantic ways to celebrate, and planning one from home does not have to be daunting. With reliable sunshine, breathtaking scenery and wonderful value, it is easy to see why so many of our couples choose to marry here. In this guide, we walk you through everything you need to know.
Choose the right region
Spain is wonderfully varied, so the first step is deciding on the feel you are after. The Costa del Sol offers glamorous beaches and villas, Andalusia brings historic haciendas and courtyards, and the islands deliver dramatic Mediterranean scenery. We help you match your vision to the perfect setting.
Sort the legal side early
Many international couples complete the legal marriage at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Spain, which gives complete freedom over the setting and style. A civil or religious ceremony in Spain is also possible. Whichever you choose, we guide you through the paperwork and confirm the current requirements with the local authorities.
Give yourself enough time
The best venues and suppliers book up early, so we recommend starting to plan twelve to eighteen months ahead where you can. A rough timeline looks like this:
- 12 to 18 months before: set your date, budget and region, and secure your venue
- 9 to 12 months: book your key suppliers and plan the guest experience
- 3 to 6 months: finalise the design, timeline and legal documents
- The final weeks: relax, we handle the details so you can enjoy the countdown
Planning our wedding from Madrid could have been overwhelming, but every step was handled with genuine care.
